iPhone 5: What to expect of the 2012 edition? – In the light of what we have at hand – Part 2

The release of the new iPhone will see a fierce competition from other competitors like Samsung and Motorola, who have successfully managed to create an outstanding image of their respective flagship handsets, Galaxy SII and Droid Razr.

Samsung is planning to release the new Samsung Galaxy SIII or S3 in a curtain raiser dedicated solely to smartphone as the current model in the market has become a sensation among Android lovers. The upcoming Galaxy SIII—I am going to address it as SIII since the last model incorporated the Roman numeral—is attracting speculation in the same way iPhone does. Experts have come up with mock-ups and designs for the new SIII.

On the other hand Motorola’s flagship Android handset, Droid Razr, and it’s quick successor with a strong battery, Razr Maxx, has also gathered the same attention among the smartphone users. Although the phone is the biggest in the trio with a 4.7-inch display, it has become a sensation because of its slim chassis and strong built quality. The American company is keeping the new instalment under guard but its alleged name is expected to be Droid Razr HD.

Despite the fact that Android is prone of lag in performance and incorporates bugs, the operating system is slowly becoming a sensation among smartphone users.

In the presence of these two flagship models from two of biggest companies in the world, iPhone’s success depends heavily on design.

4G LTE

All the previous models in Apple’s smartphone line have been 2G or 3G compatible but due to increasing interest of US and European users in the faster HSPA+ and LTE networks, the demand for the 4G handset has beefed up in the last couple of months. The release of the new iPad, 2012 version, has fed the anticipation that the new iPhone will be a 4G LTE phone. If you consider HSPA+ a 4G network, then AT&T models of iPhone 4S are already 4G, no pun meant.
